Harare Hustle

Steve Hanke, one of my former economics professors, did some recent research on Zimbabwe (pdf here). He says it was the second highest inflation in world history. What do you think the highest was? The answer is in Table 2 (and check out the "time required for prices to double" in that table).

By the way, if you don't know what Zimbabwe's stock market did while the printing presses were running, take a look. Scroll down for the chart.
